How to install Nepali Fonts in Android


Simple and Easiest Steps to install Nepali Fonts in Android 

The most suffering issue of Android OS Phone is that it does not embed Devanagari Fonsts (Nepali, Hindi, Maithii, Marathi and many others) by default. Nepali font sites and Facebook posts in Nepali shows small square boxes in stead of text as in below:
 
I come here with the easiest steps to intall Nepali fonts in Android Phones. 
    1. Root your phone. You can use google search for the tips for rooting your phone. Note that you will lose your software warrenty after rooting but you can get it back by unrooting. But, unrooting makes you lose all data previously saved or installed after factory setting.
After rooting, you can see “Superuser” in your phone. 
  2.  Download one of the fonts below in your device. In may devices, it will automatically be downloaded in “download” folder of your phone memory.
        DroidSansFallback.ttf (http://manijshrestha.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/installing-nepalidevnagari-font-in-android/ )
o        Or
         Akshar.ttf (http://nepali.changathi.com/Fonts.aspx)

Note: DroidSansFallback may not be compatible for some android application (Viz. Default Music Player of Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus). Latter seems so far well-matched to all. If you prefer former one, you can use mangal font from your PC  (C:/windows/fonts) too because both are same.

    3. Download and install “Font Installer” from Android Market or PlayStore.


      4.  Install above downloaded font by using “Font Installer *Root*”.

 During installation, press “continue” if it asks for and “Yes” for rebooting. After restarting, you can enjoy Nepali font sites and Facebook posts.

    1. Last screenshot is copied from another site. Actually, you can read Nepali fonts as same as in the PC. Secondly, I don't think any font can be installed in Samsung Android Phones without rooting but I am not sure about other phones than Samsung.

    1. First root your phone and follow above steps. Rooting a phone is very simple process (which you can find in google and youtube) but risky too.

    4. Mine is GT I9060. KingUser is the easy to use I have ever found. Google apk file from its site and install on your device. You have to allow "install file from unknown source". When completed run and root. When rooted you may need EX file explore to download. Just enable "root access" on ex file explore. Thats it
